After buying a ragged out Corvette C6 ZR1 with over 100,000 miles, I decided to build it to 1000hp! A new LS9 engine, Kong 2650 supercharger, and MUCH more, we did everything possible to make 4 digit horsepower!
Then I decided 1000hp wasn't enough... back to the drawing board for this c6 ZR1!

Don’t sell the C6 Zr1 it’s the best corvette ever made of all time it’s unique, cool, and fun to drive. In my opinion it should be a lifer and it’s my favorite car you have and the most fun content too

[@joshuawilliams639]

For me nothing beats a big block c3

[@bustjanzupan1074]

Aaaaaaammmmmmmeeeeeeennnnnnn, just put some Turbines onto it , 2 b perfect !!! ! !!! 🙂

[@thesearch9048]

Love the ZR1 content! Keep it around and hit up the drag strip in the spring.

[@SpeedyGeneralMotorsINC]

Keep the Zr1 more content

[@tatebeach6464]

This! At least get us some good launches and time slips

[@EZKILL-mo1md]

love all the content but Corvettes are my favorite.

[@George-zq2sk]

I hope you keep this, this is truly the last of an era Vette.

[@natesmemes1794]

*Probably the best all around Corvette ever built*

[@ssoffshore5111]

Keep the ZR1 content coming! By FAR the best part of the channel IMO!

[@Bertnickram]

More ZR1 content for sure! Love this car

[@Yourmission9]

Always been a big muscle car guy but not a corvette guy. That said, your ZR1 looks and sounds amazing. Plus that color!

[@SpeedyGeneralMotorsINC]

Keep the Zr1!!

[@cameron201193]

Love the Corvette! Absolutely loved watching the build to finally see it on the track! Wouldnt mind seeing a couple more videos on the track with it before you sell it and start something else! Either way I'll be right here waiting and looking forward to whatever you build next man! 😎🏁

[@jacksavage2612]

Also love the ZR1 but if it’s just another car for you, sell it. You guys always do awesome projects and I’m sure it would go to something special.

[@mitchellhuey5612]

Streetspeed 717 did the same thing with his 1000 hp LMR modified 2011 ZR 1 when he did a run, the belt broke and cut up his coolant hose too.

[@ssoffshore5111]

All these blower cars have the same issue, the belt.

[@grantnumrich9719]

you guys are so knowledgeable!!!! I have run into some of the problems you have corrected your self! and I love you asistant because you keep the great! humor in the shop as you guys really love what you do and work great together with laughter as well as you make everything right! thanks for you site!

[@andrewless4067]

Thanks for the video. I feel your pain. You really have to love them as there is always something coming apart. Happy to look after the ZR1 in Australia if your happy to send it down under....

[@dustinjackson4517]

Keep it!!!!! Let’s see you get the launches down and some good track numbers.

[@WICKDZ]

More ZR1 content for sure!

[@gsfriendlytreesmmj1165]

Great episode, I'm here to watch whatever you put out 😮. Its all been good so far 👏👏

[@MillerHeavyEquipmentMiami]

New build. Great content guys. Keep up the great videos.

[@slamblackek9]

That nsx is super dope in back ground I hope 🤞 that’s new project next yr

[@Bconley22]

This is the first video I’ve seen from you guys. Awesome video, great information! You gained a follower.

[@haroldmclean3755]

You've done a great job on your Z R 1 👍

[@xFR34KEEx]

It would still look sick af on the trailer!

[@natesmemes1794]

*I ♡ ZR1 the way you built it, it's perfect in the Supersonic Blue Metallic, definitely 1 of my dream cars*

[@chrisdeavers8576]

Stumbled onto your channel last week and have beinge Probably 12 hours and thats no lie 😅 I have long boring work days ! I have a 03 C5 and she is my baby can't wait to buy some parts . Keep up the great work 👍

[@williamchristopherkirtz1727]

Rims are perfect yo,I would love to see you go threw the harbor tunnel with full beans of that beast!!!

[@kennyboyy7656]

keep it going c6 will never get old!!

[@geraldthompson2173]

More ZR1 content!

[@BVance1972]

Your biggest fan from O H ten & I’ve been in LOVE with your ZR-1 from the get go ! but after the “ over 1100 report card “ pushed it Over the TOP 4 me! If I was you I would keep it FOREVER ( look how hard it is to find & get a good one ) but other side of coin I understand about selling & diff builds, I wish I had these kinds of problems 😂😂

[@thepowerlender]

DW from the Western Shore in AA County. You all just came up in my feed and boy what a 'meal'...hungry for more! I've got some stock C4's; 91 ZR-1 and convertible L98. I just subscribed and will be looking for more of these badass Bowtie diets! 😎

[@g-reg716]

That ZR1 would be the best Giveaway Car Ever! You’d make a ton and bring a lot of attention to your channel

[@user-ob2qb9qt4z]

keep it. you made me want a zr1 more then any other youtuber to date.

[@RTMZ06]

It looks bad ass man, the ride height is perfect and WOW, those ride height adjustment bolt pads look like they were holding up a truck!

[@user-qf1zx2pe3i]

That zr1 sounds amazing I really want a corvette there so nice and sound so damn good

[@orion1two]

Absolutely love this spec. Gorgeous color... That Dyno shop really needs a proper fan setup.

[@808SSCamaro]

Not sure what much else you could do with the ZR1. Might be time to move on. Thanks Brothers for sharing! Take care!

[@jerrykawatski9940]

I say keep the ZR1 at least long enough to enjoy the results of your work , sell it next spring when the corvette market is stronger. I really would like to see how fast it is.

[@jamesreardon8585]

your camera is outstanding, the quality of picture is so good compared to other youtubers

[@pathfinderdiscovery9395]

Keep on making tha vids man , love um , an the zR1 is kick ass she looks brand new man

[@B_r_i_n_k]

38 seconds into the video and I yelled "I know that garage!". I bought a bunch of stuff from you guys to fix my c5 z06 a few years back. Y'all had a Blue Viper sitting out front back then. Great people. This zr1 is bitchin, dude.

[@InitialEngineers]

Knowing you, you’ll get another. Sell it and keep building! I agree all the fun is in the building !

[@cr-x7344]

i would say that with a cool rare car like a c6 zr1 you build it to enjoy it

[@jacksavage2612]

Man they look great on the car 🔥

[@Lipstick_zr1]

We drag race our Zr1s and these kind of things happen. Do your research and you will enjoy some 8 second passes for sure. I helped Jeff test that intake and it came out great. Enjoy the car and race it!

[@krasnaindiancuisine8338]

Take it to Florida for more ZR1 content

[@vincentcarrano6329]

Awesome series. Pack it up sell it and let’s get cracking on a new build

[@Eldenoras]

I would love to see it taken to the track or strip for a few videos, then maybe sell it and start another cool build. But have some fun with it first!

[@dennisbagatin4480]

Yes more of that zr1 love it!✌️

[@vincentgreen5166]

I love that vette you should keep it bro!

[@TheWolfMatt]

You should run your ZR1 against SS717's ZR1 out at the track. What could possibly go wrong? Love the content on this beast btw.

[@1g4u]

We need some Roll racing in the zr1🏁

[@chopdogrulz1337]

More ZR1 content please!!!😎

[@daveunbranded]

Sometimes you can gain some belt size by taking the idler off and putting it around the belt, then bolting it in with the tension

[@tonygeorgievski4746]

Keep going with the ZR1

[@Nickyb801]

Love the ZR1. I have one sitting at 800whp on stock blower. Fun to see the detail on the next level of build.

[@Martin19-94]

must be fun as hell!! they pull!

[@milkduds1971]

Love the build videos, I think a build on a '96 Impala would be fun to watch

[@gregorybrothers9650]

Love these videos man.

[@cheapme1850]

The last generation of great looking Corvettes!

[@S2NAZ]

Beautiful Vette 👊🏻

[@stewsonic03svt]

I'd like to see more racing content love the zr1

[@kickintotalonenxg]

Keep the zr1! It’s my favorite build to watch updates on! There is already very little zr1 content out there so if you stop making zr1 content then there really isn’t anything left.

[@unlawfulorder2127]

Love this channel!!! I’ve been watching this build for a while. I think I missed the part where you got the hood window glued back in. I needed to fix mine and for some reason no one where I live knows that to use to get it to stick. I’ve tried 3M windshield adhesive and it doesn’t hold up on carbon fiber. If you have any advice on that I would greatly appreciate it.

[@1drwnd.porsche]

More Porsche content 🙏🏼

[@nitish21]

can you make some aluminum piece or something to shield the line from future belt snaps?

[@Martin19-94]

these vetts specifically are fast as hell. got to ride in one not long ago pushing 800+whp and its insane. could only imagine 1,000 plus

[@gd1996]

I'm with you, the build is the best part.... I lose interest once they are done. But I'm also to the point that I don't want to spend all my free time building more cars and everything is just so expensive anymore lol

[@grantnumrich9719]

I would keep that great accomplishment with that ZR1! a very rare accomplishment! keep it! for sure!

[@Den-ml7zg]

great show id like to see you take the Z06 back to the speed trials

[@johnw3638]

I've followed this one from the beginning. It's what hooked me on Scrap Life Garage. Race it, don't sell it

[@malikdigger4544]

A 1400hp Corvette pretty amazing by u Scraplife Garage luv new rear meat's on C6 ZR1.

[@raymoore8063]

Keep up the content with the zr1

[@adamgriffin]

More ZR1 Content and keep it dont sell it. Screw what everyone else is doing on KZbin

[@obe_595]

Super lucky with that belt.

[@yakupcandag426]

Thank you for adding Turkish subtitles. We follow it fondly as a country

[@aidancaschette]

If you ever have the window problem usually if you close the door while holding the window switch up, it will start to work again. Happens all of the time with mine.

[@thomastheamazing3275]

Id love to see more zr1 content

[@senditscott4735]

Don't let the stance guys get to ya. That's a muscle car my g. Need that little bit of RAKE!!!!

[@russelbarns1737]

hey Lee...nice video mate, great work..sell it, put the money into another build

[@Silencer84]

Follow your heart, if it's not a lifer, focus on your other projects or get something new, do what feels good and we'll follow you in any direction you choose!

[@pull_up_on_meeee]

Don’t listen to the negative comments, ZR1 will always be king and I’ll rewatch all zr1 videos all day

[@thekingscene]

C6 ZR1 is the king of the Corvettes. If you guys dont want it anymore there's someone out there that does

[@dsetter608]

Sounds amazing at higher RPMs.

[@whiteboy4456]

Love that zr1😍😍

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

Sell it and finish the Demon!! Stay blessed

[@lanegeisewite1436]

God dang Chevy America!😍😍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💪💪💪💪 Yes plz more more ZR1!! U need to take her to the road course which is what Corvettes are built for!!

[@jesuscota2322]

Excelente video ❤

[@Nickyguapo]

we need an update of the 6spd demon!!

[@rswafford09]

Fab up some guards to protect the hoses in case it happens again

[@wickedfriggengood6992]

When drag racing you WANT squat in the back on the hit for better traction. So If anything add more hight in the rear

[@bartender_billy6229]

TIL that scrap life is located in Maryland. That’s dope! I live in Maryland!

[@bartender_billy6229]

Update, I just learned that I live 45 minutes from y’all 😂

[@waynek921]

Keep up the great work together. Your ok

[@tcent3]

I’m just like you with the preference of building. When I’m done it’s like now what? But I sold a build I wish I kept so think hard about it

[@davidcorder95]

Heck yeah brother yes love mopar and ford I’ll like those Corvettes love to see those demon videos

[@rbs427]

Love the ZR1! Was that Cecil County?

[@simonbainbridge3507]

Loved the series, Lee - but I vote it is time to move on. I'd love to see you guys rebuild an S Class AMG, either S63 with the 6.2L M156 engine (add a supercharger!) or the S65 with the V12 twin turbo motor. Awesome content, favorite car channel on YT hands down.

[@chrisbriggs9418]

Love the zr1 content could always move up to a c7 zr1

[@cavananderson3083]

Would you guys happen to have a front fender flare which is attached kind of to the front spoiler for a 2011 Corvette C6 grand sport? I’m in need of one I broke it black plastic.

[@WORKHARD956]

More zr1 content for sure

[@luigikilla5821]

Love the zr1 😍

[@madmodvideogames4084]

Those markings where the bead goes on the wheel is called knurling

[@Urticari4]

i think starting over would be very fun

[@dannythompson1948]

In the extensive research ive done, as in watching one single youtube video... That sounds so much like something I'd say to my wife while trying to convince her i can tackle a project

[@Suburbanjs]

C6 ZR1 is the best Vette made imo! Keep the content coming!! Don’t sell it!!

[@jonastallmadge5584]

This car sick af keep it
